Craft Your Papers

Craft Your Papers

Found your nation. Write your laws. Defend your papers.

Craft Your Papers is a complete nations suite for Paper & Spigot 1.21+: territory, governments, economy, diplomacy, standing armies, religions, jobs and live web maps — all in one jar, no dependencies required.

First public snapshot (v0.0.1-snapshot). Everything is playable, but this is an early build: your feedback is gold. Found a bug, a confusing command or a balance issue? Please report it in the discussion thread — it helps a lot. Thank you!

Requirements

• Paper or Spigot 1.21.1+ (Paper recommended)
• Java 21
• No dependencies — Dynmap / BlueMap / squaremap are optional

Quick start

1. /cyp found <name> — found your nation (costs members + iron).
2. /cyp claim — claim the chunk you're standing on. /cyp map shows your land.
3. /cyp invite <player> — grow your nation. Set a capital with /cyp capital.
4. /cyp mode — check the server style. Admins: /cyp admin mode <simple|arcade|realistic|custom>.

Game modes: SIMPLE (light claims life) · ARCADE (fast action + auto-tax) · REALISTIC (full simulation) · CUSTOM (mix it in config.yml).

How everything works

️ Territory
Land is claimed per 16×16 chunk, organized into provinces under your nation. Claims protect blocks, doors, chests and villagers. Defend your capital — if it falls and stays occupied, your nation falls.

️ Politics & revolution
Choose ABSOLUTE (leader decides), COUNCIL or DEMOCRACY (votes decide). Hold elections and referendums; unhappy citizens can start a revolution.

Economy
Money is physical: deposit iron, gold, diamonds and emeralds into the national bank. Big nations cause inflation, and arcade servers can charge tax per claim (miss too many and land is repossessed).

Diplomacy
Propose war, alliance, non-aggression or trade pacts. Win wars to turn losers into vassals who pay tribute until they break free.

⚔️ Military & fair war
Recruit guard villagers, train sergeants, group them into divisions. A strength ratio stops giants from farming tiny nations. Occupy chunks meter-by-meter, plunder them, hold the capital to make them fall.

️ Peace treaties
End wars like a statesman: cede land, demand reparations, liberate nations or dictate terms.

Ideology & religion
Adopt ideologies, found religions, collect dividends, declare holy wars. Fully optional.

Inhabitants, jobs & payroll
Villagers are citizens: beds and jobs, wages from the treasury, loyalty. Unpaid villagers may desert or rebel. Companies ( orgs) hire and run their own banks.

️ Recognition & web maps
In REALISTIC mode nations start unknown — send envoys, exchange maps, earn recognition. Live Dynmap / BlueMap / squaremap rendering included.

Feedback & bugs (please!)

1. Plugin + server version (/version, Paper/Spigot),
2. What you did + what happened,
3. Any console error (paste it!).
